Abstract:In this work, the structural, solution, electrochemical,
and catalytic
properties of the complexes with ligands derived from imidazole and
pyridines were studied. A comparative study of five bioinspired copper
catalysts with or without coordinated imidazole and with different
chelate ring sizes is presented. Catalytic efficiency on the oxidation
of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (DTBC) and ortho-aminophenol (OAP) in a MeOH/H2O medium was assessed by
means of the Michaelis–Menten model. Catalysts comprising imidazol… Show more
